Prove that thickness of k17-{one edge} is 3 or 4?
k17-{one edge} has 135 edges
The thickness of a graph G, denoted θ(G), is the
smallest number of planar subgraphs into which G can be
decomposed.
That is, find the optimal way to partition of the edge set of G
into disjoint subsets, each of which is a planar graph.
So if G is planar, θ(G) = 1, and if G is non-planar, cr(G) ≥ 2.
Thickness of K17 is 4.
